A grandparent DNA test can provide some peace of mind for grandparents who are concerned about their paternity. In many cases, grandparents want to know for sure that they are the biological grandparents of their children before they commit to providing emotional and financial support for many years. There may also be legal reasons for wanting to confirm a biological relationship. A grandparent DNA test can give grandparents the answers they need. The test is simple and quick, and it can provide some much-needed closure on a difficult issue. Read on as we explore some reasons for performing the Grandparent DNA test.
Reasons To Confirm Paternity:
Father is not available for paternity testing
Child custody cases
Heritage and inheritance issues
Health Insurance relationships claim
Legal reasons for paternity such as immigration, social security, etc.
Peace of mind.
Grandparent DNA Test Requirements
In order to obtain the most accurate results, we recommend testing both grandparents if possible. If only one grandparent is available for testing, we recommend adding a mother to the test in order to increase the statistical probability that the grandparents are genetically related to their grandchild.

In some cases, however, a child's parent may refuse to allow a grandparent DNA test to be administered. There may be a number of reasons for this refusal, including the fear of upsetting the child or grandparent if the test results are negative. In other cases, the parent may simply want to avoid the expense of the test. If you find yourself in this situation, you may be able to petition the courts for permission to administer the test. While there is no guarantee that your request will be granted, it is worth exploring all of your options.
